Haarwick: Calm Typing Game

A calm typing game: type the words carried by the sea fog and the lighthouse beam burns them away. 15 short stages from 12 to 46 words per minute, live speed and accuracy, a daily stage and no punishment spiral. Free, no ads, no tracking.

The haar is rolling in from the sea, and the boats are still out.

You keep the lighthouse at Haarwick. Every wisp of fog that drifts in from the dark carries a word. Type its first letter and the beam swings onto it; type the rest and the beam burns the fog away with a bell and a breath of wind. As the fog clears, the stars come out and a small boat finds its way home into the harbour. Only one word on the water starts with each letter, so you never have to choose: you just type.

There is no punishment spiral. A wisp you miss simply drifts past the lighthouse; nothing speeds up, nothing is lost. Clear most of the words and the stage is yours.

• 15 short stages (about one to two minutes each), from three-letter words at a gentle 12 words per minute to eight-letter words at 46
• Your speed and accuracy live while you type, and in the results: words per minute, accuracy, best streak, score
• Stars for clearing the fog and typing accurately; the next stage opens with one star
• Daily stage: the same words for everyone today
• Calm practice: short, mixed or long words; the fog stops at the shore and waits for you
• On phones and tablets the device keyboard comes up, the words are bigger and every stage runs slower (a "slower pace" setting is there for everyone). Made for a desktop keyboard first.
• No download, no account; progress is saved in your browser
• A low-poly night sea with a sweeping lighthouse beam, soft key taps, a distant foghorn and the sound of the sea

Code and text written with AI assistance (including the word list); checked by PN Scripts with automated tests. The sea, lighthouse and fog are drawn and the sound synthesised by code.
